Specifically, this Use Permit Amendment addresses the following changes from UP14-0002 and UP15-0005 within the boundary of the facility as it currently exists:  Expansion outside of previous operational area (hydrants)  Moving berm locations to avoid wetlands swale to the west  Reduction of composting operation onsite to summer season only, April 1 to October 31  Location of stormwater retention pond and obtaining coverage under the General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activities, Order 2014-0057-DWQ (IGP), and associated pipeline and biological treatment system  Addressing filling of isolated wetlands onsite and the removal of inadvertent fill from another wetlands feature (see attached U.S. Army Corps (ACOE) correspondence) (COMPLETED)  Addition of limited milling onsite  Miscellaneous corrections and errata The amendment also includes a proposed additional expansion of the project boundary and operations at the site which include the additional changes from UP14-0002 and UP15-0005. The proposed Site Plan is included on Figure 1:  Expansion of the current site boundary to include an additional 63.9 acres for total site acreage of 126.7 acres.  Two additional 40,000-square-foot buildings in expansion area for finished product storage.  Installation of an 80-foot truck scale in expansion area.  Construction two 400-square-foot yard offices.  Installation of two additional 1,500-gal septic system at the proposed additional yard offices.  Installation of an onsite domestic well in the expansion area.  Installation of underground distribution lines and fire hydrants in expansion area.  Construction of internal haul roads throughout the project site; proposed roads will be 30 feet wide and surfaced with concrete over existing lava cap.  Increase in chipping and grinding operations. UP14-0002 includes the storage of 30,000 cubic yards of greenwaste material and processing of 300,000 cubic yards each year; the Amendment includes storage of 300,000 cubic yards of material and processing of 500,000 cubic yards of material each year.  Increase in firewood storage and processing operations. UP14-0002 includes the storage of 100 cords of firewood and 6,000 cords of firewood processed each year; the amendment includes the storage of 5,000 cords at the site and 9,000 cords processed each year. P:\Projects\2017\71730 Old Durham Wood\Use Permit Amendment 2020\Project Narrative CUP Amendment 2020 Expansion.docx 2  50 percent increase in composting volume during summer months.  Amend Condition 20 of UP14-0002 to allow the receipt and chipping and grinding of softwood logs at the site. The following description modifies the previous project description in Use Permit UP14-0002 dated May 22, 2014. Chipping and Grinding Operations Old Durham Wood (ODW) currently no longer receives municipal greenwaste from November 1 to March 31. Material used in the chipping and grinding operation comes from orchard removal and woody debris from the general public and commercial businesses. Materials received include, but are not limited to, untreated wood, natural fiber products, hardwood and softwood logs, and construction and demolition wood waste. The site does not receive food material, bio solids, mixed solid waste, materials processed from commingled collection, wood containing lead-based paint or wood preservative, municipal greenwaste, or mixed construction/demolition debris. The project includes an amendment to Condition 20 of UP14-0002 to allow chipping and grinding of softwood logs at the site. This would include the receipt of a maximum of ten truckloads of logs each day. The general public and commercial businesses can deliver woody debris materials to the facility. Materials are unloaded by hand or by other mechanical methods that are under their control (i.e. dumping trailers and dumping truck beds). For some commercial businesses that deliver large quantities of pallets or wooden crates, a forklift is used to aid in the unloading of the materials. Once a sufficient amount of material has accumulated, it is transported to the grinder to be processed into biomass fuel for consumption in a cogeneration power plant. The grinder is not stationary and is moved to areas where materials are located for grinding. The chipping and grinding operation will have the capacity to store up to 300,000 cubic yards of material. Materials are processed through a horizontal grinder and then passed through a screen to separate the smaller material (fines) from the larger material. Larger chips are sent as fuel while fines are composted onsite. The larger materials, such as tree stumps and logs, are processed less frequently (i.e. when a large amount has accumulated). The length of time that the processed materials remain onsite depends on the needs of the cogeneration power plants and orders for compost buyers. At certain times of the year cogeneration facilities stop accepting material, in which case materials will be stored onsite pending need. During the fall and winter months cogeneration power plants have a greater need for material to burn and accept more. During the late spring and summer more agriculture material is available. Material may stay onsite for up to two months, but is normally rotated out within four weeks. A total of 500,000 cubic yards of material will be processed each year. Firewood Processing and Storage Operations The firewood processing and storage operation includes the sale of orchard and farm wood obtained from offsite sources, on a site occupying no more than 10 percent of the parcel’s total size and where up to 5,000 cords of firewood are stored for processing and offsite or onsite sales. P:\Projects\2017\71730 Old Durham Wood\Use Permit Amendment 2020\Project Narrative CUP Amendment 2020 Expansion.docx 3 Wood used in the firewood-processing operations is harvested from area orchards. It consists mainly of almond, walnut, and eucalyptus, but can also include other types of orchard or farm wood. Wood is cut offsite and loaded onto trucks and hauled into the project site to be stored and cured. The wood brought to the site is unloaded in the storage area for seasoning. The wood is cured until the moisture content is below 20 percent, which generally takes 10 to 12 months. Cured wood is then split using portable hydraulic wood splitters. Split firewood is assembled into bundles, stacked on pallets, and shrink-wrapped. Firewood pallets are moved into the onsite building for storage. Up to 9,000 cords of wood will be processed every year. Commercial trucks ship the finished product to customers. Approximately 400 commercial truck trips are generated each year (800 including return trips). The majority of truck trips occur between November and January, with approximately 8 to 38 truck trips each week. Approximately 3 to 8 truck trips are generated each week during the remaining months of the year. Composting Operations Composting is the controlled decomposition of organic materials by microorganisms. The result of this decomposition process is compost, a crumbly, earth-smelling, soil-like material that can be applied as a soil conditioner and organic fertilizer to gardens, crops, and rangelands. Compost provides organic matter and nutrients (such as nitrogen and potassium) to the soil and improves soil texture. Feedstock material for composting operations is generated from fines produced during chipping and grinding operations. Composting feedstock is initially pushed into static piles until a sufficient quantity of feedstock has been accumulated, at which point composting feedstock is transported by trailers or loaders into designated windrow areas. Historically, approximately 30 to 35 acres were used for composting operations. Windrows are no larger than 700 feet long by 25 feet wide by 8 feet high and are spaced at least 4 feet apart to provide access, windrow loading, monitoring, watering, and turning. Composting has been curtailed during the winter season (November 30 to April 1) to achieve compliance with the RWQCB General Order for Composting Activities. The temperature and moisture of the composting materials are monitored and controlled on a weekly basis. New feedstock materials are subsequently added to the newest side of the windrow. Windrows are turned a minimum of five times during the 15-day pathogen-reduction period to promote aerobic decomposition. When the desired level of decomposition has been achieved, the compost materials are moved into curing piles for several weeks to months. Upon completion of the curing stage, the finished compost is screened and transported for offsite sale. Any compost remaining onsite as of November 30 is covered. Orchard/Farm Wood Processing Operations (Milling) Wood used for offsite wood veneer production is obtained from area orchard supplies and brought to the site intermittently. Wood is initially cut offsite and then transported to the site by trucks. Once onsite, chainsaws are used to trim the logs into appropriate sizes and then milled into square logs to be stacked on pallets to dry. When logs reach the appropriate moisture content, logs are cut into dimensional lumber with the rip saw and transported offsite for additional processing. All scraps generated from processing operations become feedstock material for chipping and grinding operations. Some milling may occur onsite. P:\Projects\2017\71730 Old Durham Wood\Use Permit Amendment 2020\Project Narrative CUP Amendment 2020 Expansion.docx 4 Onsite Personnel Total personnel onsite are proposed to be approximately 25 to 46 employees. Chipping and grinding operations will consist of 6 to 12 employees. Employees are always onsite during business hours that are engaged in the grinding and moving of material, moving of equipment around the yard, loading and unloading of commercial trucks, and performing repairs and maintenance. An additional employee is onsite to operate the water truck, when needed. Composting operations consist of 4 to 8 part-time employees. Sometimes this consists of the operators from the chipping and grinding operations. Their jobs consist of taking temperature readings, watering the piles, turning the piles, applying additives and amendments, moving of compostable materials from static piles into windrows, and loading of the finished product to be shipped offsite. Firewood operations consist of 9 to 18 employees. They work in and around the piles of wood that are curing throughout the yard. They also work in and around the storage building when receiving materials or loading trucks. Between 4 and 8 of the employees use hydraulic wood splitters to split the round logs into smaller pieces. Between 5 and 10 people then take the smaller pieces, wrap them into small bundles of firewood, and place them on pallets for shipment. Orchard/farm wood processing consists of 6 to 8 employees. The employees will perform multiple functions including materials handling, using chainsaws to trim logs, loading and unloading trucks, and maintaining equipment. Water Water is used for domestic uses, applied to compost piles to maintain the appropriate composting moisture content, and applied to travelways to suppress fugitive dust emissions. Water is currently provided by an onsite well. An additional groundwater well is proposed to provide water to the expansion area. Water is transferred by underground water lines to fire hydrants in areas identified on the Site Plan (see Figure 1). Additional water for composting may also be pumped from the stormwater retention pond. Stormwater Runoff Stormwater which contacts compost must be retained onsite. Therefore, ODW has ceased composting in the winter months. Coverage under the General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities (Order 2014-0057-DWQ) has been obtained for other site discharges. A pipeline has been constructed that transports water under Hamlin Slough for biological filtration using old rice checks located south of the facility. The checks filter site stormwater prior to discharge to Hamlin Slough. Septic System The project includes three onsite 1,500-gallon tanks used in one septic system for wastewater disposal needs. The septic system/dispersal bed replacement field is located on the southwest corner of the project site. An additional 1,500-gallon septic system will be installed at the yard office P:\Projects\2017\71730 Old Durham Wood\Use Permit Amendment 2020\Project Narrative CUP Amendment 2020 Expansion.docx 5 Environmental Monitoring and Controls A description of the proposed methods used to monitor and control leachate, litter, odors, dust, rodents, and insects follows. Odor The facility has prepared and maintains an Odor Impact Minimization Plan pursuant to 14 CCR § 17863.4. In general, the Plan requires the following steps in the event of odors noticed at the site:  Investigate and determine the likely cause offsite odor;  Determine if onsite management practices (e.g. mixing odiferous materials with sawdust or other bulking agent, turning the windrow more frequently, remove odiferous materials from the site, etc.) could remedy any odor problems and immediately take steps to remedy the situation;  Determine whether or not the odor has moved offsite and if so, if it is significant enough to warrant contacting the adjacent property owners and/or the LEA; and  Record the event for further operational review. Dust Efforts are made to suppress fugitive dust particulates during high wind conditions by applying water from a water truck or water trailer. Fire hydrants are located around the facility that can be used to spray water on materials or along roadways to suppress dust emissions. Leachate Under normal circumstances, moisture content does not exceed the field capacity of the compost material and no leachate is produced during the summer. Rodents Materials onsite are not generally considered a food sources for rodents. Any rodents present at the site are mostly kept under control by area wildlife (i.e. hawks, owls). If rodents become an issue, traps will be distributed at the site. Insects Insect activity is monitored at the site. A contract pest control company will be hired for insect control if it is determined to be necessary. Litter Limited sources that generate litter are found in feedstocks. The facility rejects and returns to the generator any load that contains excessive litter. Covered trash containers are provided in areas where employees and visitors generate litter. Onsite litter is collected routinely and disposed of properly. Hours of Operation The facility operates Monday through Saturday, with the facility closing on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Hours of operations occur between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., with the site open to the public between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. P:\Projects\2017\71730 Old Durham Wood\Use Permit Amendment 2020\Project Narrative CUP Amendment 2020 Expansion.docx 6 Operations Equipment Equipment used at the facility include:  Morbark 6600 Horizontal Grinder or Morbark 1300 Tub Grinder Used in the processing of biomass. The proposed facility expansion will require an additional grinder for a total of two.  Front Wheel Loaders At least 2 front wheel loaders are onsite at all times. An additional two loaders will be required for the facility expansion. They are used to feed material up to and into the grinders, pushing of feedstock into piles for storage, loading of biomass fuel and compost into trailers for transport, moving and turning of compost, moving of firewood and firewood scraps, as well any other material-moving needs.  Compost Turner Used for turning the compost rows to introduce oxygen and mix the material.  Powerscreen Used for screening material from grinding operations to separate the fines (smaller particles such as dirt) from the higher-quality biomass fuel. It is also used for screening finished compost product to remove large pieces prior to sale.  Truck Tipper Used for removing the contents of a commercial truck trailer by raising the trailer to a steep angle so that gravity causes the material to slide out the back.  Water Truck Used for suppressing dust caused by vehicles and grinding operations, fire suppression, watering of compost to maintain moisture levels and lower temperatures, extracting accumulations of water for distribution elsewhere and applying additives to the composting piles.  Forklift Used for unloading pallets, crates, and moving packaged firewood products for storage or transport.  Hydraulic Woodsplitters Used for splitting firewood rounds into pieces that can be wrapped into firewood bundles or sold as bulk firewood.  Baker Band Saw Used for cutting orchard/farm logs into square logs, prior to the curing stage of the operation.  Rip Saw Used for cutting cured logs into boards, prior to shipping materials offsite for additional processing. P:\Projects\2017\71730 Old Durham Wood\Use Permit Amendment 2020\Project Narrative CUP Amendment 2020 Expansion.docx 7 Hazardous Materials Hazardous materials that are currently onsite, and proposed to be added to the facility, consist of the following:  Diesel fuel Diesel fuel is currently stored in a 500-gallon trap wagon to fuel equipment used at the facility. Eventually, a 10,000-gallon tank will be used for red diesel and a 10,000-gallon tank for on-road diesel.  Gasoline Gasoline that is used for the wood splitter engines is currently stored in a 500-gallon aboveground tank located near the existing metal building. The proposed expansion includes installation of a 1,000-gallon aboveground tank.  Hydraulic Oil Hydraulic oil used in the wood splitters is currently kept in 5-gallon buckets inside the metal building.  Engine Oil Used engine oil is currently kept in 5-gallon buckets inside the metal building prior to being transported to the owner’s property at 8616 Durnel Drive to be added to the waste oil container. New engine oil is stored in 5-gallon buckets that are kept inside the metal building, which is used for the wood splitters. Construction The following activities are completed at the current facility:  Paving of the area;  Construction of perimeter berms and application of erosion control measures;  Construction of temporary stormwater detention facilities and pipeline;  Construction of onsite domestic well and water delivery system;  Construction of one onsite septic system;  Construction of employee and customer parking area.  Change to seasonal composting operations;  Construction of the office;  Construction of internal haul roads;  Construction of the new driveway encroachment; and  Moving truck dump equipment. Activities yet to be completed from the previous Use Permit at the current facility include:  Planting of landscaping on berms  Construction of fuel station and hazardous materials storage area  Moving truck dump equipment  Construction of proposed 40,000-square-foot storage buildings  Construction of 2,400-square-foot fuel station and hazardous materials storage area P:\Projects\2017\71730 Old Durham Wood\Use Permit Amendment 2020\Project Narrative CUP Amendment 2020 Expansion.docx 8 The proposed additional expansion activities will be completed in 1 to 3 years.
